Filed under: Convertible, Bentley, Luxury, The List In case you hadn’t noticed, we’re now actively using your suggestions for new episodes of The List. We started the series with a few of our own, but suggestions from viewers like you have been flooding our inbox since the first episode. Race in the 24 Hours of LeMons? That was your idea.

Comic-book-turned-big-screen do-gooders like Batman (and his mild-mannered alter-ego Bruce Wayne) and Iron Man (Tony Stark). That’s just one of the reasons we’re stoked for The Driver. The animated...
